Who are we

DIB Coffees of Hawaii is a unique Community Business project for the deaf, and we are proud to declare that we are a “Made-in-Malaysia” brand. DIB (which stands for Deaf-in-Business) is the first gourmet coffee chain in Malaysia operated fully by deaf personnel, guided and trained by a few hearing Coaches. With the support and encouragement from our customers and community, DIB will be able to provide more employment opportunities to deaf Malaysians and possible business ownership to deaf employees who dare to dream. DIB Coffees of Hawaii is a non-profit establishment, and all profits shall be utilised to open more DIB outlets. Our strategy for future expansion is opening small shops or kiosks at Office Buildings. We realise that we are entering uncharted waters and thus expect tremendous challenges ahead. Thus, we welcome philanthropists  as well as business organisations to partner with us, as we endeavour to sustain this Community Business project and make it a success.
